A Bothersome Boa-Constrictor. " Did yon ever carry any really dan- : Kerons animals on yenr ship, Captain j John V said L "Well," said he, "once when I was j in Para I bonght a snake, a boa-con- i stridor, seventeen feet long. I got him of fonr Indians, who c*nght him j some twenty-five or thirty miles np the liver. They bronght him into t-own in j a strong covered orate or basket, whicn they carried on two poles. When I bonght him I had him carried into my ; old consignee's yard, and I got a stont ; rvnoVincr-KnT and had it all donble- i nailed and holes bored in the sides to give him air. Then the Indians pnt the snake in the box and we nailed j him up tight, leaving him in a snug j corner for the night, 'The next morning I went around early to the market to bay something j for my snake to eat. I got a couple of ; little animals, something like our rab- ; bits, and I carried them around to my consignee's house. I found the old ! gentleman hadn't turned out of his j hammock yet; but he soon got up and went with me into the yard. "When we j got there wa saw the packing box all 1 burst open, the boards all lying around j loose and no snake to be seen. We "? looked ajxrat bat could see nothing of ; him. 1 was amazed enough to be sure, j and the old gentleman felt quite uneasy at the thought of such a creature wan- < derrng about his place. "?wnn't loot for him.' he said. I ' Those Indians are still in town, and we will send for them.' "The Indians soon came, and they found him. Yon can't imagine where j he had hidden himself. There was a ! pile of earthen drain-pipes in one corner of the yard, behind some bushes, and he had crawled into one of these short j pipes, and then tnrned and crawled into the one next to it, and then into the ! next one, and so on, in and out, until j he had pnt himself into five or six of the pipes. He had probably seen through i \ the holes in his box some of my old consignee's chickens, and being made ravATinyiR bv the sisrht had i -?j ? w broken out. Then, having made a meal ! of one or two of them, he had crawled into the pipes. " The Indians were not long in captaring him. Fortunately, his head stuok oat of one of the pipes near the ground; and one of the Indians, taking a long pole with a fork at the end, j climbed on a high fence near by and soon pinned Mr. Snake's head to the ground, leaning on the pole with all his weight. Then the other Indians straightened out the drain-pipes in which he was and began to draw them off him, pulling them down toward his tail, and first exposing the portion of i ;. ins body nearest his head. Then they took a long, strong pole, and, w.th bands of the tough grass which grows in that country, tied his body to the pole close to his head. Then they bound, him again, aooui; eiguwjeu inches farther down. Slowly drawing down the pipes they tied him again to the pole, about eighteen inches be- ; low, and so on until his whole length was fastened firmly to the pole. Thus he was held secure until the dox was nailed up again, and I had sent for a blacksmith to put iron bands around it, i so that it should be strong enough to 1 hold any snake. Then the creature's j 3? __ tail was loosened a?4 put through a hole in the top of the box. Then an- j other band was cut and the snake poshed still farther in.

Not C'arr, but Prevention. Too many farmers ^ait actil a disease has attacked their stock before taking crftpantions that should bft a matter of ! course. Horses should have a bras xnash twice a week, in which a hand:ul each of salt and wood a^hes have been mixed. Never feed musty hay or uni sound corn or oats. Give plenty of fresh ! water, have a warm but well ventilated stable, and if in spite of a faithful attention to these rules a horse is attacked by a cough, however slight, give fifteen drops of tincture of aconite twice a day and send for a competent veterinary turgeon. Pranins 3Ieloa Vines. i A practical gardener sajs; year [ I pinched the ends of the main shoots of the melons, squashes and cucumbers, and left some to run at their own will. I A squash plant sent oat a single stem, reaching moie than forty fee!:, but did | not bear any fruit; another plant was pinched until it formed a compact mass of intermingling side shoots eight feet square and it bore sixteen squashes. I Tne present year a cmsfemelon plant, j thus pinched in. covers the space al- i loted to it, and it has set twenty-three j specimens of fruit, the most of which j have been pinched off. The pinching causes many lateral branches wnich orodttce the female or fertile blossoms. T?hile the main vines only produce the male blossoms. Tie difference in favor ot the yield of an acre of melons treated by this pinching process may easily amount to 100 barrels. Care of Fowls. The Poultry Monthly says, concerning the treatment and care of fowls: A teaspoonful of glycerine and a few drops of nitric acid to a pint of drinking water will generally cure a fowl that shows symptoms of bronchitis, when accompanied with a gurgling sound in the throat, as if chofciug. 1'Le sex of young eeese mav be known to the 1 reeder bv many signs. Among some breeds and varieties it shows in the oolor, size, carriage attitude, mode of attack, pngna-; city, inflection of the voice or cackle, or recurved fe9 thers in the tail, etc., and j which may ba noticed by comparison, close study and experience in breeding them. A great and gre'ious 6rror creeps into the management of poultry keeping by allowing too many fowls to masa together in restricted houses or yards. Buckwheat is one of the best articles of food for laying or fattening fowls. Young Turkeys must not get wet. This is an important corsiaeration and^ should be strictly enforced in their management, and to secure it they must be kept housed for four or five weeks after being hatched. Coarse corn meal cooked or scalded with skimmed milk to drink is tee cheapest ana Dess cues j we know of for fattening fowls. For I the sake of variety, barley meal and oati meal mixed with milk, cooked vege- ! tables and oracked corn may be fed occasionally. Hints oa Bean Culture. The ground intended to produoe a crop of beans should have good natural i or artificial drainace, and sandy soils j are preferable to those that contain consideralla cLiy. It is desirable that the soil of the entire fitld be .of nearly uniform character as regards fertility, so that the crop will be uniform and a)l! the beans mature at about the same | time. It is not best to apply rank j manure to ground intended to produce j beans, as it tends to make a large i growth of vines and foliage. If any j stable manure is applied it should be j well rotted and well distributed. The j soil of a bean field should be free from j the 6eeds of weeds or grass, or the work i of cultivation will be great. It is the | general practice to plant the seed in j ,3?CHs* t*?/ *! ? o-wofr\ q]Ir\ru o nor. I UililO iOii CIIUU^U <%jksC4i. V u\s + ?? MW* I row cultivator to pass them. Sometimes a good crop of bes?ns may be raised on the inverted sod of an old pasture by sowing the seed broadcast and covering it with a cultivator or harrow. In the New England States it is customary to raise beans in connection with corn, three beans being dropped in each hill. A3 the corn raised there is small the btans get sufficient sun to enable them to grow well, and their production is attended with little trouble or expense. Ihis plan might be followed in those parts of the "West where the smaller j varieties of corn are raised. BeansJ 3hould not be planted until all danger i of frost is over. Pains should be taken i to see that all the beans planted are of j the same variety, as mixed lots never | bring the higher price. The seed ger- j minates quietly and the crop requires j little cultivation if the ground is quite j froa frr.m crratin anr? XTPwls. The CfOD i must never be worked when the vines are wet with rain or dew, as rust will | attack the foliage if it is disturbed when ! wet,?[Boston Transcript. Farm and Garden Notes. A quart of ground feed per day, with j good pasturage, will soon bring the ! sheep into marketable condition. * As soon as the tops are cleared rake : onions from the ground, and, whon i dried, remove to the farm loft or [ garret. An exchange advises planting plen jy r of rhubarb, tomatoes and melons as a ! substitute for fruits that have been in-1 jured by the cold weacher. If manure is plowed in at all, care j ought to 03 tasen not to cover it too ; deep. For most annual crops, it is : eaough to harrow it in thoroughly. A salt-box does not cost much, and ; should be supplied in every pasture, I where 'the f ?rm animals can be con- j stantly supplied with the needed salt. I Thinning fruit is one of the practices I which will repay the fru t caltnrist for | the time and Iab->r expended in the j operation. The more valuable the fruit the better it pays to thin it while young. Farmyard manure is often seriously injured by allowing too much water to fall upon it. whereby some of its most important elements are washed out of it. This, with the loss of ammonia by drying, makes it useless. See that the pigs have a good run of -1 fi-ncli rrroca "Vnnncr niffR for C1VYC-L. Vi UWBU vo .v. the early winter market should be pushed to a rapid growth by extra feeding. Sour milk is not enough. Give grain in liberal quantities. If you have hens of the right breed and age, warm and sunny quarters for them to stay in, and keep them supplied with everything they need, you will have eggs, simply because hens can no more help laying than they can help breathing. If a breeder keeps several varieties, seme of one variety will be bred as close as possible to anotner, which he may have. But few breeders possess an "eye sufficiently critical to breed several varieties and keep them in j perfection of form, color and points, as j one breed must follow another to some | fan f Charred corn is excellent to feed to hens in order to increase their egg-! laying capacity. It is not desirable to \ feed it as their general food, bnt apor- j tion of it every day will be found bene-' ficial. Char the com on the cob pretty thoroughly, taking care not to reduce any part of it to ashes. Grapevines, pruned at the proper time, will send out too many new shoots, which would grow and make a thick mass of branches and foliage. Rub ofi in time ail the needless shoots, leaving i the strongest ones equally distri- j buted along the vine, at distances from j eight to twelve inches. Hundreds of farmers in Pennsylvania have turned their attention to fish cul ture. SJany have stocked ponds and st: earns, and in most cases they have ! ?

A successful Boston florist says that he seldom fails to root slips of the most I tender and rare plants. Ee credits his success to a layer of oats placed under the usual layer of sand in which the '? J slips are planted. When moistened they | act as a stimulant and feeder to the tender roots of the slip. Never let the weeds get an inch high. Go over the beds once a week with a steel rake; the ciopa will grow faster and the weeds will not get a start. A few hoars spent in this way will save days of weeding after the weeds have been allowed to get several inches high, bv which time they will also have re j tarded the growth of the crops. Grafts set early in spring should not ; be injured by shoots and smokers spring! ing np from the stock about them. As i soon as the graft shows that it is alive, | rub off all these sprouts or shoots. If | the graft should happen to die, leave i the strongest shoot to grow for rej grafting, and rub off all the rest. The same attention mnsl be given to buds which are inserted last summer and the stock cut off this spring. Shaping young trees may be easily effected if taken in time, by summer pruning and pinching. A needless or misplaced shoot, which might become a conspicuous distortion if left to grow, is ruobed off with the thumb when an inch or two long. Branches which are running out too long are stopped by pinching off the ends. By these means a handsome and symmetrical head is easily given k> a young tree, if taken in time. Recipes. Fried Asparagus.?Blanch the asparagus a couple of minutes, and then drain it; dip each piece in baiter and fry it in hot fat. When done, sprinkle with salt and serve hot. This is nice, and easy to prepare. Pbuxe Pies.?Soak a pound of prunes over night so that the stones will slip out easily; stew in some water with as many raisins as you wish, and sweeten; use less water than for sauce; when both are soft grate in the rind of two lemons and fill the pie, allowing two crnsts. Buttered Eggs.?Beat tip six eggs with a tablespoouful of milk; heat two ounces of butter in a stewpan, put in the egg, with a little white pepper and salt, and, if liked, two teaspoonfuls of Fa'mesan cheese. Stir it over the fire well, then turn it out upon slices of buttered toast, and serve very hot. Creamed Cabbage.?Slice as for cold slaw and stew in a covered saucepan till tender; drain it, return to saucepan, add a gill or more of rich cream, one ounce of butter, pepper and salt to taste; let simmer two or three minutes, - i 1 i l then serve. Mi is may oe usea oj aaaing a little more butter; or have a deep spider hot, put in the sliced cabbage, pour quickly over it a pint of boiling water, cover close and cook for ten minutes, then pour off water, and add baif a pint of rich milk. "When the milk boils stir in a teaspoon of flour moistened with a little milk; season, cook a moment and" serve. Plain Buns ?One pound of flour, six ounces of good butter, quarter-pound sugar, one e^g, nearly one fonrth pint of milk, two small teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a few drops essence of lemon. Warm the butter, without boiling it; beat it with a wooden spoon; stir the flour in gradually with the sugar, and mix these ingredients we d together. Make the milk lukewarm; beat up with ths yolk of the egg fvad the essence of lemon, and stir Inese to the flour, etc. Add the baking powder, beat the dough well for about ten minutes, divide into twenty-four pieces, put them into buttered tins or cups and bake in a brisk oven from twenty to thirty minutes. Ahbeb Soup.?Fry a large chicken with a small piece of pork and a large onion. Put them into the soup-pot with two or three pounds of veal or beef and a gallon of cold water. Let them simmer slowly for four hours, skimming very frequently. Add then a small carrot, a turnip, one stick of celery, two sprigs of parsley, four cloves, half a teaspoonfnl of small pepper-corns and a little salt. Let it simmer slowlv for another honr, strain and return to the | pot. Season it to taste with cayenne ptpper and salt. Add the slightly beaten whites and shells of two eggs, stirring well to the bottom of the pot. Let ic come to an active boil, then set it npon the back of the range. When boiling ceases and it becomes perfectly still, skim it well, add a tabltspoonfnl or more of caramel and serve. Household Hint*. Flowers and shrnbs ehonld be excluded from a sick chamber. Oil-paintings httng over the mantelpiece are liable to wrinkle with the heat. Leaves of parsley, eaten with a little vinegar, will prevent the disagreeable consequences of tainted breath by onions. . BARTHOLIN'S GIFT. The Progress of Work on the Golossal Statue Destinei for N\jw York Harbor. A Paris correspondent writes: 1 have just returned from a visit to the workshops on the P..e Chazelle, where M. Bartfioldi's colossal statue of Liberty j is now in process of construction. The first thing that struck my gaze on entering the inclosure was a mighty framework, towering high in the air like a lighthouse, its base a vast sweep of drapery in capper, with one colossal foot peeping irom beneath its folds. Around this framework a crowd of men were busy, while from the adjoining workshops came a deafening din of hammering. 31/ guide conducted me to the bide of the improvised pedestal to show me the right foot of the statue, the tip of whicti rests lightly upon the earth, while under the sole of the huge sandal some half a dozen workmen were engaged iu finishing off the interior. M. Roustan, the newly appointed minister of France to Washington, clambered up into the interior of the loot, but I, being a stout and elderly /lanltno/? +rw in^n]era in oiiflh Tin. y?I VJ y UOVliU^/ A l/V AUMUkl^V wt*vu MM comfortable gymnastics. That is tha point at which the permanent doorway to lead into the interior of the statue is to be constructed. On the other side of the inclosnre the gigantic head, familiar to the visitors of the international exposition of 1878, towers above in colossal completeness. The immense temporary structure that serves as a workshop wa3 behind these finished portions of the wyrk. On entering there I was confronted with a lofty wall of plaster, broken here and there by a curve or a fold; this was the model for one-quarter of the goddess, beginning at her knees. I contemplated the vast folds of her drapery, and came to the conclusion that never be fore had I seen a Paris - made gown that took Tip so much stuff or was so hard to make. The model, carefully enlarged from the original, is first cast in plaster in large sections, each comprising one-quarter of the figure, exclusive of the head and upraised arm. These models are then oopied in bits of wood, artfully put together like a Chinese puzzle, and on this wooden an3 solid structure the sheets of copper are hammered into form. The din was deafening, one band being engaged o:a the arm and shoulders of the figure, while another group was working at the wooden copy of the plaster cass of the second section of the drapery. It is confidently expected that the whole figure will be completed and in place in the inclosure by the 4ih of July of next year, and that it will reach America in time to be inaugurated there on the anniversary of the signing of the treaty of Versailles. A government ves3el will probably be placed at the disposal of M. Bartholdi to transport the colossiJ image to our shores. There is some uneasiness felt here as to the prospect of the completion of the pedestal on Bodloe's island in time to receive the statue, but I should think that all such fears were groundless. It is a noble gitt, and will magnificently embody the Tolden friendship of the two great republics of the world. I hear that M. B irtholcii has consecrated no less than $20,000 of his own private fortune to this enterprise, ile is ricn ana nas no children, and he has thrown his whole heart and soul into the completion and erection o! his mighty masterpiece. ^ ^ ^ _"k I England's Great Seal. Tne rnsre holding of the "Great Seal J of England entitles its fortnnate custo- j diac to some 860,000 a year, to immense patronage in charcn and state, | | to be speaker of the house of lords, a j i privy Councillor, and the head of all j j judicial authority m the kingdom, to be j designated lord high Chancellor of I Grent Britain, and keeper of the royal conscience, and to rank (next to the j royal family) as the second subject in j the realm. It is very difficult, if not impossible, to say when Ecgland first had a great sea!. Seals were cot much used by our Anglo-Saxon ancestors, bat came largely into fashion during the Norman reigns. The silt crosses of marks of Edward the Confessor, and other Saxon kings, can scarcely be called seals, and partook more of the character o: signatures of an illiterate age; but a grar d and perfect seal of William the Conquerer exist? having the monarch crowded and thioned on the one side,! and mounted on horseback on the other, attitudes, which have been invariably i observed to the present day. 0a9 remark Abie circumstance con-} nected with the great seal, is its pro- j gressive growth in size as time ai- j vaaced. Originally, eight hundred ! yeaid since, not larger than the top of j aa ordinary modern teacap, it has been j gradually enlarged from age to age, till i it oilers now the size and appearance of j a m iffin, and requires to be inclosed in | a tin box for protection. Indeed, so ! cumbrous and unwieldy had the great seal become, that some three or foar j jeais since an act of parliament passed j ?containing very extraordinary provie ] ions, directing that all the minor, aad many even of thr more important documents passing nnder it, 6houid for the future be authent cated by a paper wafer of moderate size, which ahould be gummed on the instrument, and ba deemed and taken to be the great seal itself! Tie great seal has only three times been lost, twice temporarily, and once permanently. James II., on leaving the kingdom on his abdication, threw the seal into tho Thames, whence, however, it vas next morning fished up and hiwnorVif-. fn Whitehall. Tjnrd T"!!('on buried it in his garden in Qaeen square | during one night when his nouse caaght fire, and he thought in the confasion it might be stolen. ''And," writes the chancellor in his diar?, "when the fire was extinguished, I quite forgot in the myrninz where I had buried it. and while the carriage waited to take me to court, my lady and I and all the household, were dibbing -with piecBs of stick, till we luckily found it." Lord Thurlow, who always held it during the night in his bedroom, had it actually carried off by burglars, from whom it was never recovered. A privy council was called he nest day, a new seal was rapidly made, and during the remaiudsr of his contiunance in effiee, Lord Thurlow invaiiably deposited it of a night under his pillow. .Down to 1818 the great seal itself wa3 made of copper, since ihen 6ilver has oeen the metal employed. It is in two halves, somewhat like two very thick bright tin saucepan lids, fitting closely together, their inner surfaces deeply sculptured wi^h the royal devices intended to be formed on the wax when squeezed between them. instruments navmg anmiteaauranon are sealed with yellow wax. Others supposed to exitt in perpetuity, such as patents of peerage, etc., are exemplified under green wax; and in the case of some letters patent likely to be exposed to a good deal of knocsin;? about, or journeying from place to place, such as wera the a*s:ze commissions, the wax seal was stamped after being ingeniously iiclosed in cream-colored leather. What the Facc Allows. Bound-eyed persons see much, live much in the senses, but think less. Narrow eyed persons, on the other hand, eee less, but think more and feel more intensely. It will be observed that the e 3 J eye.': 01 cniiaren are open auu ruiuu. | Their whole life is to receive impres- I siois. It is only when childhood 13 maturing toward man or womanhood that; thought comes, if it comes at all. But what is it that most leads to reflectioE? Experience. Our errors, cur shortcomings, our failures?these teach us to think before we act, to consider each step, to weigh every motive. When, therefore, the upper eyelid?for it is that which has the greatest of mobility?droops over the eye, it indicates not merely reflection bat something painful to reflect abont. Hence tbe length or drooping of the upper eyelid betokens confession and penitence. The drooping cf the half of the eyelid from the outer angle to the center indicates the disposition to.confess one's faults to parents or seniors, to a ' 'father confessor,'' cr to the Supreme Being. The drooping of the half of the eyelid from the inner angle to the center betokens the disposition to repent, and to j "do works meet for repentance.'' uiose ly allied to these signs are those of prayerfulness and humility. The former is indicated by +he mtiscle which tnrna the eye directly upwards. Th9 faculty of humility is indicated by the muscle which turns the eye directly downwards, as represented in the pictures of the Madonna. Prayerfulness is usually large in connection with the sign of confession, and humility in connection J with ihat of penitence; the reason o:i | which is, thai; between the faculties of penitence a'id humility there is the j same close connection as between confession and prayer. One who has mor? praver than humility has the eye turned habitually somewhat upwards, so that the upper part of the iris is a little V.TT +V>Q rniittl' flrolid Sft as | WTH OU KTJ CUO U^/J/Vi. vj v.*v?, . to leave a slight space between the iris and the lower lid. The reverse is true of one who has more humility than prayer. The fasulty of truth?that is, the lovo of it?is indicated by the muscle which j surrounds t e eye, casing, folds and j wrinkles. Justice is indicated by the I muscle which - causes perpendicular | wrinkles between the eyebrows. Full- j ness and wrinkles tinder t ;e eye, for j which some persons are remarkable, m- j dicite the love of mathematical acj curacy; and wrinkles curving uowards from the ouler angle of the ey? and eyebrow, indicate probity or personal truthfulness. There are three degrees ' of the facrltv of iustice. The first is a j j kind of exactness or strict honesty in | I small money ma-ters whieli, some poo-1 | pie would call closeness, ana is indi- ! | cated by a singular perpendicular j j wriikle or line between the eyebrows. I The second is the disposition to require ! i justice in others, and is indicated by ! two perpendicular lines or wrinkles, ! one on each side of the center?a very common sign. The thii d degree is .conj scientiousness, or the disposition to ; apply the rule of justice to one's self, j and is indicated by three or more j : wrinkles or lines, especially noticeable, ; | extending above the eyebrow when the i mnscle is in action. The love of comj mand is indicated by one or more short ! transverse wrinkles across the root of | the nose, exactly between the eves. It j may be seen in great military comman ders, in masters and teachers, and in tnose generally who are fond of exeri cising authority. In those who are j i wanting in the power to command, and | have no desire for responsibilitv, this j * *?i- w. /?r.^ j Mgll IS BiSO ausent-. -LUti Jauuiiij \ji | j command frequently acts with that | j part of justice which reprimands, or i j requires others to do right, and both j ! together prodnco that frowning and i ' lowering brow which is so terrible to j evil-doers, or to those who love to b<s j approved rather than condemned. j ?

Clergymen or Physicians. The following extract is from an address of Rev. Dr. Richard L. Storrs, before the graduating class of the medical department of the University ofjthe Oity of New York, at the Academy of Music: I wish that I might impress upon you the great truth that every man is a debtor to .his profession. It lies with him to enlarge its 'resources, to increase its usefulness, to multiply its capacities for making the world batter. The msn who places such an ideal as this before him can alone hope' for a irue and grand success. It does not ehut ou; a due and proper respect for tli-i riQof. on/I itc tmf.Vis! hnf. fllnnc 'with that it is ever welcoming the spirit of the new light. I know there are sometimes men, in the medical as in the i clerical profession, who sail away from I the practical world as in a ballon. In I their own eitimatiori at least this balloon of theirs swings level and tranquil in the air; and to their eye it is the earth that seems to sink far down below them. Now, there is often a wonderful fascination in such theeries; but we must remember that their chief and only constituent is gas. Not only that, but they are environed with peril, and they frequently end in death. It is in accordance with the highest laws for progress to keep what is true, aad to advance from that to other truths. We are impelled to recognize this in our lives. Gentlemen, remember, that whatever may be your skill or your learning or your reputation, you need a tirm, sweet, strong, moral spirit, by means of which you will be able to 1^.1^.^^, ryiAVa f Kon 1"1T7 oil f hfi I UltTJ>3 V U U1 uauguw AJ_IVX?U VliHU KJJ MA A w?,v/ I drugs in the pharmacopoeia. I have known physicians?and justice requires me to add, I have known clergymen also?wno answered a description which Rufus Ciioate gave of one. "Stiff as a poker did you eay ? Why, be is a terribie example t0allp03si'?le poker3 " Every such man, be he clergyman or physician, is a depressing influence wherever he goes. Let the phyeician come to the sick room in a spirit of sympathy, and an influence for good will pasa from him as real, though as imponderable and impalpable as the perfume that fills the air with its fragrance. I once knew a physician of Boston, who lived to be almost ninety, sunny to the last He never entered a sink chamber without driving: a leat> to the pulse?a man whose smile was a benediction, whose whole life was ease in the highest and noblest mold Wheresoever he went it was at once his duty and his priviledge to minister to the body a d spirit of man. The power of such men as these reaches to the very roots of life. I count it a privilege of your profession and of my own that we have to be genial men; the full chalices of our own souls run over and bless those around us. This sympathy and this geniality must be realities in your nature ; they wiJl not come by being extemporised. The golden aureole of the saint is produced by a sway 01 tn6 i j brusu ; but it is only by patient endu-1 ranee and toil that the highest character becomes ours. No physician or clergyman will ever reach the head of his profession unless that spiriian imates him. i j Sfcobeleff Killed in a Drunken Brawl. The London Telecraph publishes a letter fTom its Moscow correspondent which gives the following account of the late General SkobelefPs death: Skobeleff is indeed dead; but the details officially published concerning the manner and place of his decease are said to be absolutely false. The facts are as foLows : The evening before the geneial's death he was in his usual health and spirits, and dined !.???;:!? <rr-Tt1i cAtvia Vin/in flnmnoninns fit { U cai LI1J VTXIU OVUU UUVM one of the restaurants in tbe town. After dinner the party proceeded to theErmitage Gardens, a place of entertainment iq the environs of Moscow, of the same character as the Cremorne Gardens used to be in London. More friends were met at the Ermitage, and, after a very lively evenicgrthe party returned to the town, Skobeleff inviting some of the j company to join him at supper at a small hotel of indifferent repute, in the Petrovka street, named toe Hotel d' Angleterra. In this hotel and in this I society the general died. Skobeleff had numerous enemies, and i by many it is believed that he was a | victim to foul play ; bat those who beet | knew his character, and who also know I who were in his company at the time of | his death, consider it far more probable j that be was killed by one ci his maie companions in a drunken brawl. I my; immediately on hearing of his decease, sought information at the Sotel d'Angleterre. I was refused admittance, and when I attempted to question the proprietor he declined to reply. He 'had never seen General Skobeltff;" he did not know he was dead ; and he did Dot know why I asked him about it. Other inqnirers were in my presence 8imilary refused information. The gen-, eral's body was at night secretly removed to the Hotel Dasaur. where the next day it was given out that Russia's greatest military chief had suddenly expired from heart disease.

In passing threath Hester street from the Bowery toward the East river, : as evening approaches, one comes upon one of the most interesting parts of the. city. After crossing some half dozen [ dimly lighted streets, and wending his war among the population that pours j1 out into the thoroughfare in this season ;1 picking his way around boxes, avoiding stepping upon babies and children of 1 tender age, tacking to escape collision with bevies of maidens and swaggering ' coteries of East Side youn? men, the visitor at length reaches Ludlow street, and there comes upon a sight which would tax the skill of an artist to imi tate. Even he could not give an im- i ^ / IT pression 01 tuebLUltlilg, uauu- | ins: panoramic movement that is going ) on here and extending to and over Es- j sex street, where the climax of the scene is leached. ifour first thought is that yon have hit upon a combination of Vesey and Chat- 1 h2m streets. The sidewalks are incumbered with almost every kind of ar ticie that will serve for traffic. Every basement is a store, and every flagstone ] constitutes a branch shop. Bedsteads, chairs, tables made 3j good as row from old legs with fresh pine tops, saw- ; horses, wheelbarrows ana fnrnitare of ; every kind lie in confnsion awaiting a purchaser. Sandwiched in among these motley collections are fruit stands without number, upon which, in the same happy disorder, lie bananas, oranges, lemons, watermelons, apples, and ali | seasonable frait. Each stand is illuminated by atlea3t two torch-lights, whi se yellow, smoking flames give the appearance of an army encamped f<Jr tie night The furniture dealers and the fruit vendeis are a very busy set. With sleeves rolled up, they ply their traffic with unceasing energy. The watermelon stands seem, next to the lemonade stands and soda water fountains, to be the center of attraction. At one corner a diminutive lad cries out ever and anon at the top of his voice, "Watermelon, a cent a slice; sweet as sugar, cold as ice." Another ln'3, a short dis tance away, takes up the refrain and 1 -3 - -1 ~ ~ i- a i/3 on r\r\ Ac , LL2iIlUi5 XL Uii IU a tuuu, <*uu ov vu. the cry runs musically through the street you imagine for a moment that watermelon must be the panacea for all human ills, summed up just now in j thirst. The cent-a-slice trade is a heavy , one. An endless procession of boys and girls, men and women, who have saved i just enough from a day's earning to in- . dulge in the luxury, come filing up to " the melon stands, eat their slice with 1 gusto, and pass on, a cent the poorer, bat proportionately happier. The soda fountains are the most glar ing feature of the spectacle. There is one at each corner of tue street, wirh i broad facades of variegated marble, and imposing array of silver mounted stop , on/1 ?hr>vA all. sattins everything ; out in strong relief, an electric light, ; whose radiance throws a. softening in- 1 fluence over the scene The genius of the fountain is generally a Latless man, with his sleeves rolled up and a cigar in his mouth. He is sober, sedate, de!ib erate, attentive, moving as regularly as a pump handle, and the cause of much apparent satisfaction to the patronizing multitude. Bevies of girls, troops of children, mothers with babies in tlaeir arms, young bloods with abundance of cash to buy a one cent, two-cent or three cent glass of soda, constitute the eiidless throng that moves on and up to the fountain, quenches its thirst, and passes on, disappearing in the dim be yond. Turning from stand and fountain, you can -walk leisurely on and glance into the basements. Every available inch of space there is given over to the rush of business. Goods are heaped in confusion, already for a pell-mel-. transition into the hands of customers. The proprietor is never at a loss, however, to lay tend upon the most insignificant article inquired for, and he serves von promptly and efficiently. He is goodnatured, and would only make an extra cent out ot you on the utmost pipvocatioru A noticeable feature of all this activity is the general good Dature prevailOne can walk among the outdoor popu lace by the hour and behold no quarreling, hardly a 'harsh word. Occasionally an irate old woman will berate a boy who has stumbled against her stand, but she is generally content to take it out in syllables, even if she does not esd up her harangue by giviag the boy a slice of watermelon or a peanut as a solace for his wounded feelings. Aside from those who buy and sell there is a large per centage of people J here who come to wander and see the [ world, Children ran abont in haphazard glee, singing, playing, diverting their minds with the things of the moment. Many of them perform the duties of nurses, and sit in the doorways holding babies. The babies are one of the stronghold. From one to three will be found in every doorway under the charge of a little girl, and sometimes, j though rarely, *of a boy. If one is not j careful he will run over babies on the ! pavement at every step. They hive, j they swarm, they bazz?they do everything but walk and fly. Here, on a high cart, is one of them, securely fastened to the seat by being sandwiched between two little girls, perhaps five years old, who keep watch and ward to the tune of " The Babies on Oar Block." The mothers, meanwhile, with hair neatly combed and with head covering, wearing a kerchief or iight! shawl about the neck, go here and j there, gossiping and laughing, with an I -- trifle I appealiuiue *ji caucuo uvutcuu n^u vuc i world. One would never suspect bat | that their principal occupation was to saunter and take comfort. To understand these strange surroundings one mustdo as the people do, hand himself over to laziness and j leisure, saunter, meander, stop, look at j the lights, study the faces, note the | manners, chat, look perchance at a pair I of bright eyes, treat them to a cent's I worth of cold soda water or a slice of beautifully colored watermelon. Then he may appreciate the geniality, the comfort, the open-handedness cf this life in summer in what is known as "Jew Town."
