Referring to the French theaters at Constantinople anil St Petersburg, and discussing the probability of tlioir re maining open or of their being cloeed while war is in progress, a writer in a French paper relates what took plaoe in the latter city when the French army was marching upon Mosoow. Mile. Georges, of the Oomedie Fran oaise, was just then the idol of the St. Petersburg plaj goers, and, though the news of French victories arrived in the oity, she continued to play, by order of the emperor, but not without some apprehen sion as to the result in ooneequenoe of the growing hatred of the populaoe against tha ,French. After having appeared eveiy evening |gfc two or tibftjw weeks, she was informed, when about to start for the theater fa the court carriage, whkh was alwajd plaoed at her disposal, that a band of moujtka, armed with thick Jtieka, had oplleoted outside the theater ?iui intent upon procuring ad waa with great diAeulty who played with ?sassaEdHBffil carringo. ' ^Jount Narisobkine, the superintendent of the imperial theaters, endeavored do ?llay her fears, brjt she felt more emo tton as the curtain rose than upon that memorable night when she played before a partorro of kings, and on looking round the theater, whiA was filled from top to bottom with the sovAge moujiks, she fell fainting into the arms of tho actor who was standing- beside her. As she was being carried off the atage, the moujiks, * Branching their sticks, attempted to #rco their way in pursuit of her ; but NanHchkine, who hod been watching the scone from behind the wings, oame for ward, and by a motion of his hand kept thom back. Several offioers of the army were with him, and upon a sign from one of them the doom of the stalls, gnllories and boxes were thrown open, disoloeing tho Preobrajenski grenadiers with load ed muskets and fixed bayonets. At the same time a detachment of soldiers came forward on to the stage, and one of the servants of the theater brought a table with pons and ink, and laid down a plank to enable the moujiks to step on the stogefrom the body of the house. But beforo they woro al owed to do so Oount Nnrisohkino addressed them as follows: "My good fellows, I*,,7 l>0 tlie nHe of yonr insulting or lulling inoffensive actors, who aro, in addition, onr guests ? I can give yon better advice than that. Come up to this table, and enroll yourselves to serve in the outposts, where you will be able to prove your devotion to holy Russia end yen* love for her master, our re spected and glorious emperor." Not a Bingle moujik uttered a murmur, and* they oame up one after auother, de posited their sticks, signed their named or made their marks, and started for Mosoow.?Aim Mall (latctte.

The Montreal Witness particulars concerning the piugiess oI the suit for tbe' Lawrenoe-Townley e?Ute in England, and says that a hill of rights has been filed in chanosry by the "true heir," William T. Lawrenoe, and that favorable opinions hare been gton by "asveral prominent legal Anna, both English and Amadaao." The bill of rights is said to agree with the require ments of the court of chanoery, and to answar st all points the chart drawn by "QiT William Colles when the court re jected in 1827?tho flr^t application of the Lawrences and declared tliat the right ful heire hod gouo to America. The W4tn*? adds:?? There are a good many New Yorkors interested in this case, whatever there may or may not bo in it. The "true heir," William T. Lawrence, is a resi dent of Lantingburg. The managing heir on the Canadian side has been W. D. Hammond, of Wardsville, Ont. The heirs wer<v?*dvertised for by the English relatives in the Jferald of February 18, 1859, and November 5, 1874, and somo forty of them met at Toronto, represent ing families in Cauudti, New York, Penn sylvania, Wisconsin and Ohio, claiming descent from Jolin and Mary Townley Lawrence, direct or collateral. Accord ing to tho report presented at this meot ing, the Lawreuoes have obtained a oomplete historical record from tho mid dle of tho twolth to the middle of tho eighteenth century. Tho founder of the honao, Sir Robert Lawrence, was born in Rome, in 1160, but removed to Lauca shiie, aorv d with distinction in the Crn .todos, ac . -n 1191 was knighted and re ceived a grant of Ash ton Hall. Tho Lawrenoe* mud ToWnleys intermarried, and imbaeqtiently two other large estates "fswere adjoined by the marriage of a fe male Townley with Bir Francis Howard (afterward Lord Effingham), of Corby Castle, and of a male Townley with the daughter of William, Lord Widrington. Toward the end of the seventeenth oeu tury a Miss Townley sloped with one of the Lawrences, and was disinherited by her angry fathoV; her mother, however, held in her own namo aud bequeathed her property to her daughter. Tho girl and her lover ca.ao over to the ooloniee, their dosoeudantu settling in New Eng land and ZJova Sooti*. The last de lay American claimant must bo demonstrated. The Canadian claimants seem confident of being able to prove their title, one of them exhibiting a cof fer of the said Triplienia Lawrenoe, and another a deod in which her name oo curs. Tho procise value of tho English estate, it inay here bo said, is $500,000, 000. How to Get Hieli. Tlie folio-wing Btory is told of n German farmer living in the town of Calumet, Win.: He came to this oonn try from Germany twenty-flvo years ngo and pre-empted a piece of land in tlic town where he now lives. He was then very poor, probably not having 825 all told, but he poasossed a wrnderful energy and on unparalleled tact for get ting along without any outside aid. When he wanted anything he wont to work to make it, paying out nothing for wagons, sleighs, harness or clothing. In cutting the timber (or his log house, he found A bee tree, and followed up this disoovery by othors of a like sort, socuriug both b?es oud honey.; The bees ho kept, ond for years ho had honey to eat and to soil. He had no money to pay for getting his land broken up, so he bought five or six hogs, and, tying a rope round tho hind legs of each, fast ened the other end of theropo to a stump, and all the grain ho sowed tho first year was where these "sharks" had rooted up the ground. F</r wagon wheels he sawed off the ends of a good sized log, and the rest of tho primitive vehicle he had no trouble in making. Ho mado a rude sleigh, bringing tho runuers high up in front, and joining them together. He mode harnesses of robes or hides, which answered every purpose, and the man is to-day rinh, nearly all the clothing for hia family being homo made. He has now on hand a farm for ono son, J and desires to buy ono for another aon, saying he will pay $10,000 in onsh for a I pieoegf laud that will suit him. He | puts no money in the bank, owns no bonds, but keeps the cash carefully hid den fsny. * "*? ? T 1 Impure Atmosphere. In about two and a half minutes all the blood contained in tho human sys tem, amounting in the adnlt to uesrly three gallons, traverses the respiratory surface. Every one, then, who breathes an impure atmosphere two and a half miattee has every particle of his blood aetcd on by tho vitiating air. Every particle has become less vital ?less eapa- ; ble of repairing structures, or of carry* f ing on functions ; snd tho longer such air is respired, the more impure it be oomes and the more oorrnpted grows the blood. Permit me to repeat that after breathing for two and * half minutes an atmosphere incapable of properly atj- j genet ing the fluids whioh are traversing the lnngs, every drop of blood in the human being is more or leas poisoned ; and in two and * half minutes more, even the minutest part of all man's ftne wrooght organs has been visited and acted upon by this poisoned fluid??he tender delicate eye, the wakeful ear, the sensitive nerves, the heart, the brain, j together with the skin, tho muscles, the bones throughout thetr structure?in | short, the entire being.

The Russians nro advancing slowly bat steadily into the Turkish posses sions in Asia Minor. They prooeedod in several separate bodies, the main army being at Kara. Their right wing was sent against the seoond line of Turkish defenses held by Mukthar Pasha in the passes of the Hogliauln mountains. The left wing of the Russian forces moved from Bajnzid on Ereeronm, n heavily garrisoned Turkish town. GRACE WYNNE. It was by no means singular that (trace Wynne received by acclamation the tohriqutt of "thevillage hello." Bhe wan Jtist one of those bright-faced, merry maidens who take men's heart* by storm?one moment bringing tliem to her feet by a Mingle smile from her bine ?yen, the next torturing them by cokl ro serve. Tl>e way she queened it Ovor the Tillage bean* wan scandalous in th'e eyes of all sensi ble women. Wall, there were half a score who paid atten tions, bat we cannot stop to give the history of their wooing. It ia enough to say [that among them all, Grace had not found one for whom she would give up her gay, girlish freedom. Be sides, she was quite too young to think of mar- I riage. Aunt Patty and her mother called her I "child" and "baby," and wondered that any | mnn in his senses should think of such a thing as marrying a girl who could neither make a shirt nor l>ake a loaf of bread. "Now there's Jane," Aunt Patty would say, whenever the subject was broached, "there's Jane?a real smart, capable'girl, thirty yonrs old, and a good wholesome looking girl, too, if she aint so vejy handsome. Why don't the foolish critters ask her V" Not one was able to answer that question, al though Grace once ventured to say : " Blwi'a too stiff and dignified and proper? ] ahe is waiting for some good old minister. Ho must be a widower, with seven or eight mother less infants to be trained up in the way they ahould go." But Grace was out short in the midst of her description of Jane's future prospects by the in dignant Aunt Patty. " Yon vain, silly and wicked girl I You'd oughter to be ashamed of youraelf for making stioh an nnohristian speech as that! Jane's Just as likoly to get married as you be?and a good deal more, If men wasn't such foola as to think more of pretty looks than they do of smartness and capableness." Gi *oe Wynne was Just entering her eighteenth rear, when I he following advertisement ap poered 011 the first page of the flherrytown j I tanner : " Hslk-tHcuool ton Yovxa Lawks.--Henry | Bnrnard, A. A, will open a select school for I young ladies in the hall over Jal>cz Grant's | warehouse, on Tuesday, the twentieth day of ( August. Knglish branches, $4 per term of twelve weeks. Languages, fa extra.'' Then followed a list of references for the benefit of those who might wish to inquire '<> the moral oharacter and abilities of Mr. nard. Punctually at nine, o'clock, on Tuesday morn ing, the new teacher called hia pupils to order. He was quite a young man, not over one and twenty, with a Tery pleasing face, a profusion of dark waving hair, bright brown eyes and a merry smile. In short, ha would have been Jnst light for a hero of romance, had it not teen for an unfortunate lameness whloh some what marred the effect of his fine faco and compelled bim to walk with a cane. Rome of the young ladies declared that this only made Mr. Barnard moro Interesting, and added to, rather than detracted from, hia Vauty. But Grace Wynne stonily Insisted he was horrid and lookod as cross as a hear. The discussion took place after schorl, and was finished by Grace, who, swinging her hat over her head, "Just as she turned down the lane that led to Iter home, cried with a lfght laugh : " I will rrrign all claim to Mr. Barnard. I don't like him at all-'and shan't think of such a thing aa flirting with him I" Unfortunate Gra^e 1 The words were no sooner uttered than her eyes fell npon the figure of the gentleman himself. " I was Just on my way to your house, Miss Wynne," he Raid gravely, as he Joined her and walkod along by her tddo. "I wbh recommend ed to apply to your mother for board this Bummer." Qrace wbh too much confnscd to reply. For once sho was really disconcerted. But Mr. Barnard wont on talking ho eatfily and freely, that Grace soon recovered heraelf, and before , they reached the house door, was able to an- I Hwer his questions. In less than a week from that <lay, the new ( teacher was quito domiciliated in the family of Mrs. Wynne. The first snow of winter (ell early in Novem- . bor. and by Thanksgiving day tbcro was fine j sleighing. Ho the Cherrytown beaux met one I evening at Jabez Grant's house to plan a ride for the evening beforo Thanksgiving. There j was a good hotel in tlio town of Chester, about j ten miles distant, a famous roBort on all rtieh ooensions, and thither it was determined to go. ] They were to Bet out in single sleighs at six ; olo ek, have a little dance in tho ball of the j inn, and a supper at ten, after which they were ' to return home. The girls wore delighted, especially those who , were quite sure of being invited. Some of the older ones thought it would bo much more j social and pleasant to go in lflrge 'parties ; but tho majority were in favor of single sleighs. 1 (trace received two 'invitation*, one from Jonathan Jenks, who, potwitlietanding her re fusal of bis hand, was still quite a? much as over in love with her pretty face?the other from Jabez Grant, which she accepted, but not until the very morning of the party. 81i? pre tended to bo very iudifforent "whether *he went or not, and said to Jane, Just beforo Mr. Grant camo for hia final answer : "I almost wish I was as old as you, Jane. Then I shouldn't be troubled to know who to go with. But if I go with Jal>cz, I want you to go too ; as for riding ten?twenty miles in oom pany with thnt dnnce, I sha'n't do it!" I And Jane made answer : "I would gratify you if I could, Gracey, dear, but Mr Barnard invited mo to ride with him throe or four days ago." The oolor rushed np over Grace's face bright and warm, hut she did not speak. She was very busy running a lace rufilo iuto the neck of hor crimson merino gown ; but her littlo fingers trembled, and Jane, who was much morn observant than sho aeen?ed, saw two Or three tears fall upon her hand, which, instead of exciting her sympathy, only made her quiet ly smile. It was a glorious evening of cloar moonlight. The horses sped across the fro?ty ground, aa if winged, while shout* of laughter and snatches of gay songs rang out on the clear air, and mingled with the mnsioal sleigh bells. In all the party, there was no one ao bright and fair as Grace Wynne. Her llpa were wreathed with smiles, her long <Hrk curl* fell to her waist, mid kept timo with her feet, an ahe moved lightly in the dance; her eyes had nover seemed so bright and clear, her voiee had never sounded so musical beforo. Mr. Bar nard was the only person in the hall who ap peared entirely unmoved by her charming lieaaty and grace. He devoted himself to Jane, who did not dance, and who waa looking very much pleased with hia. effort* j4ea*o her. Once as Gtaoo wa? near them, #ho Overboard her own name, and caught these words of Mr. Barnard : " Yea, she is fascinating and beautiful, but she ha* no heart - and a woman without a heart i is a pitiful object." How Grace laughed and danced after that) Her feet seemed winged, and her oye* were so bright it was almost painful to look at them j while overy time she drew near the quiet ootiple who aat at the np)>er and of the hall, ahe would make alow, mocking bow, bo provoklngtyaaney and audacious, that even Jane's good temper came near failing. Well, the merry-making wa* OTcr. Tho light* . were extinguished In tne hall, the remnants of | their fea*t strewed the long tables in the din* lug-room, and the Cherrytown party were on on their homeward way. JabeJ! Grant drov# fast, for Oraee s high spirtta were *11 gone, and ahe only spoke In monosyllable*. Ho loft hor at her door, and she wa* qnletly in bod long he fore Jane reached home. Bn t not asleep! For onee In her life, Grace waa unhappy ; and al though ahe was too proud to own to herself the eause, yet her pillow wa* wot with tenia, and her pretty face was so fluahed and hot that her carefnl sister, a* she l?ent over her, bwfore extinguishing the candle, was really afraid a *ve? would result from tho evening's pleasure. "What iro you looking at mo for?" cried race, petulantly, suddenly opening her eye*. ' I cant bear a light shining in my face." " Mr. Barnard thought yon were not well to night, and ho made me promise to see before I went to sleep," Maid Jane, qnietly. Grace oovared her face with her hands. " It's nothing to him whether I am Hick or well," ?ho muttered ; "he needn't trouble him self.'* Nevertheless the young lady bccame Hiiddenly oomposcd after this, vid in a very short time wan asleep, witli a smile on her lips and tears oil her cheeks. Mr. Barnard went away to spoud 1 hanksgiv ing day. In vain Aunt l'atty painted glowing pictures of the dinner Jano was preparing ; in vain Mrs. Wynne urged his remaining at homo until afternoon. Mr. linrnard had made up his mind, and as Aunt Patty said : "You couldn't turn him, oud 'twaru't no more use to try than 'twas to throw stones against the wind." Tho morning following Thanksgiving day school commenced again. It was pleasant to bo at her studios again, Grace thought, as she ran up stairs to the school-room, with her satchel on her arm. Hho oponod the door with glowing cheeks, and her eyes fell first on her teacher, who stood at his desk, looking so pale and nonrowful that she thought ho must have met with some great grief. Ttien sho beard a smothered whisper : "There she is?there's Grace Wynne! "She ought to be ashamed to show her face here J" The girl passed by them all to her desk, at the upper end of tho room, and sat down, and Mr, Barnard spoke : " It Is not that my o#n misfortune has been turned into a subject of ridiqule," ho said, somewhat unsteadily. " I am very well nwaro that it lias ofte n excited your mirth ; but it is the thought that there is among your nnml>er one who^vill so openly insult het teacher, and who givofl~*V'ideiioo, not only of tlionghtless ness and levity, but of a heartless disregard of the feelings of one who most earnestly wishos her improvement and happiness. I am pained for hor more than I can express, but she has my fre<* forgiveness. Young Mies, you may take your books." Mr. llnritftrd sat dowu, and Graoa glanced at the blackboard, upon which aU 09M bad been fastened. It ?M covered with A roughly sketched picture Of tho dancing party of Ches ter Hall, and awtag the most conspicuous fig ures was a ridiculous earioatnraof Mr. Bernard, cane In hand, dancing with Tan* Wynne. Tlf> indignant btooA ruahad to Grace's face, and tears sprang tabor ayes 1 but she brushed Uiem almost angrily away, and bant over her book, tier class was eallod to rooita* but she sat still in her seat; recess was given, and yet her drooping lioad was not raised ; the hours wore on, school was dismiaaod, and one by one the scholars passed out, until Grace alone was left ?3raco in her seat, and Mr. Barnard, appa rently unconscious of her presenoe, at his desk, witlj his head bent upon his hands. For many minutes the ticking of tha clpek was the Only sound in the room. At last Grace arose, push ed l>ack her long curls, and went noiselessly doyn the aisle. Her pride was all gone ; that was evident from her tear stained cheeks and quivering month. . She drew near the plat' form and stood beside her teacher, who appear ed quite unconselons of bar presence. Sho could endure the silenee do longer, and laying her little white hand upon his, she knelt down beside hiro, sobbing out tha first words that sprang to her lips: "It wasn't 1 who drew that horrid picture. Dear teacher, I couldn't have been so wloked. Won't jqn believe me T* There was no stub thing aa resisting that tear Jtained, humble face- that clasping hand and neating figure.

Fifteen minntea before the latter had sat in mute astonishment while this young woman, waved a kitchen chair in her teeth, <jr by the tip end of its back hold it at right angles to her oomely figure, while all the multitude applaud ed. Now he stood alone in the presence of a fashionable young lady, with pretty dimpled cheeks and large gray eyes, that twinkled good naturedly beneath a perfect garden of flowers in the ahape of a spring hat, and which looked honestly at the reporter as the above startling announcement was made. The transition from Greek statuary to Parisian vitality waa . too. sudden; the reporter stood speeohleea. " What! you don't believe mo ? See!" And the spring bonnet bent down grace fully, while with an inoiaive click a set of beautifully white and even teeth came together on the back of a mahogany ^oliair, which straightway was tossed high up over the young lady's head, held there a moment, triumphantly returned to ita legs, and then complacently sat down upon by Miss De Granville. "Well, will you," said the reporter, ourioaity overcoming finer instincts, '' allow me to inspect those remarka&le teeth r 1 ' v "Of course," aaid Misa De Granvillf, a beaming amile at the same time sup** plying the opportunity.

" My teeth are pretty good, but it'a uot in them that my strength mainly lies; it's here- (touching the back of her neck), and here (dropping her hand lower on toaapinM column) that I gef the muscle.

Well, you see, the other girls used to know how strong I was, aud I used to lift the chairs in my teetli just to amuse them. One day tho manager of tho Alhambra oome to dino at tho hotel, and oaught me lift ing ono of tho dining-room chairs. ?Why, little girl,' says he, 1 you ought to go into tho theater.' So I asked him to tako mo, and he took me, and I went, and I've hlonned him over since." "Thon yon*ve bden very suooessful?" " Suooessful ? Why, I should say so. You Bee D'Atalie, tho man with the iron jaw, used to havo it all to himself ; but, of course, when a woman could do the same things it was a bigger card, and I can lift more than D'Atalie could. He was only a little fellow, yon know. But D'Atalie is dead now, bo we won't say anything about him, and, besidos, hia wife?the woman who used to firo off a cannon on her shoulders, you know?ia a friend of mine, though sho will never come to see ine act. It makoa her think too niuoh of poor D'Atalie, sho say*. Yes," continued tho youug lady, show ing her teeth, half sadly. And them sho unaffectedly narrated her eventful life since the time sho lifted tho dining r<>om chair in Chicago to the present moment, dwelling upon the astoniah* mcnt of the South Americans at a re cent visit she has paid that country. In concluding tho interview, Misa De. Granville said that she has always enjoy ed most excellent health, but has been lately informed by a doctor that a pflio occasionally f?lt in her eyes is the rt* suit of continued pressing upon th# nerves of her eye teeth, and that ahe fears she will eventually have to abandon heavy lifting.

It is important to know a few signs which serve as a criteria, anil then the age of a horse at almost any stage of lifo can readily be told. The colt is born with fonr grinders, and when the fonr front teeth have made their appoaranoe, it is twelve day* old. - When the next four ooine it is four weoks old. When the corner teeth appear the animal is eight months old. When the latter have attained to tho height of the front teeth it is one year old. The two-year old oolt has the kernel (the substance in the middle of the tooth's crown) grown out in all the front teeth. In the third year the middle front teeth are shifting, oud when three year* old these are sub stituted by the horse teeth. ^ The next lour teeth ere shifted in the fourth year, and the oorner teeth in the fifth. At six years the kernel is worn out of the lower middle front teeth, and tho bridle teeth have now attained to their full growth. ?At seven years a hook has been formod in the oorner teeth of the upper jaw, tho kernol of the next at the middle is worn out, and the bridle teeth begin to wear off. At eight yoars the kernel is worn out of the lower front teeth, and begins to decroase in the middle upper front. In the ninth year the kernel hSs wholly disappeared frorp the upper middle front ? teeth, the hook on the oorner has in creased in size, and the bridle teeth loso at tho points. In the tenth year the kernel is worn out of the teeth next to the middle front of the uppor jaw, and in tho eleventh year the kernel has etP tirely vanished from the oorner teeth of the same jaw. At twelve years old ?fthe crowns of all the front teeth in the lower jaw have become triangular, and the bridle teeth are much worn down. As the horse advances in age the gums shrink away from the teeth, which con sequently. reeeive a long narrow appear ance, and the kernels beoomo darkish points. Gray increases in tho forehead and over the eyes, and the chin assumes the form of an angle. M * ? , */ TlHtUn?fU?M. To induoe a hen to lay, let the nest be pert6| shaded. When she wants to sit, if you wish to remove her, do it at night and make he* surroundings as nearly as poeeible like those of the nest shelaid in.. On a fstan where then are sasny nooks and oomece, end where the farmer fcgp setae one to attend to his fowls, \ampm mm* he gifc places, and the fowls will seleot and lsy, each in her favorite nest, and when the time for sitting lias come, each will go to her aocustomod nost without much ohanging or confusion ; but where the accommodations are more limited, more attention must be given to the nests. If several varieties are kept and it is in- . tended to maintain pure breeds, each variety must be kept strictly separate. Should any hens have begun to lay be fore such separation, then tho first ten eggs laid afterward should not be set; but when the fowls have been separated threu weeks without laying, it is safe to save all subsequent eggs for their purity. If fowls have liberty, they uoed not now have warm, soft food. When the snow has*1disappeared they will find gravel, seed, a little green food, etc.; but should they be oonftned, the winter's care must, of oourse, be oontinued. A lot of oyster shells thrown down on a road or yard over which horses travel, is very good for poultry on a farm. Pure water is essential, and should there be any stag nant pools of dirty water about the barn yard, fill them up immediately. Drink ing impure water is ? source of disease that should never be tolerated. Animal food should be givon uutil earthworms make their appearance.
